Attention Substack users! ETO blog posts are also available on Substack.
We’re excited to introduce PATHWISE (Prototype Analytics for Tracking High-Demand Workforce in Innovative Skill Ecosystems), ETO’s new tool for identifying and analyzing emerging technology talent in the United States. PATHWISE maps the supply and demand of the AI and cybersecurity workforce across geographic regions. It also highlights the educational institutions that produce the most graduates in these fields. Its interface supports analysis of additional workforce and education metrics, making it easy to explore the emerging technology talent development pipeline.
We built PATHWISE by applying CSET’s definitions of the AI and cybersecurity workforce to Lightcast’s job postings and profiles data, and integrating them with graduation counts from the National Center for Education Statistics’ IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) data. By consolidating both workforce and education data, PATHWISE reveals how talent is growing and how regions compare across key technology domains. Explore more details in our documentation and methodology!
PATHWISE provides insights on the broader emerging technology landscape, and helps identify trends within each talent hub. For example, PATHWISE can answer questions like:
- Where are the AI talent hubs in the United States?
- What is the demand for federal AI jobs in the DC metro region? Where are other regional hotspots for federal AI jobs?
- Which cybersecurity jobs are most in demand in New York?
- Which educational institutions in California are producing the most cybersecurity graduates? And are the number of graduates consistent across different educational levels?
PATHWISE is live today at https://pathwise.eto.tech, along with detailed documentation about its user interface and underlying dataset.
